HOBOnet T11 Soil Moisture/Temp Sensor
Wichtige Informationen
Ein vollständiges System erfordert mindestens einen HOBO RX3000 Fernüberwachungsstation, a HOBOnet Drahtlos-Manager, und eine HOBOnet Drahtloser Sensor, ODER eine HOBO MicroRX-Station (mit integriertem HOBOnet Wireless Manager) und einem HOBOnet Drahtloser Sensor. HOBOnet Funk-Repeater (RXW-RPTR-xxx oder RXW-RPTR-B-xxx) können hinzugefügt werden, um die Reichweite zu erhöhen.

Overview
A wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to not only measure soil moisture (volumetric water content) with better accuracy and precision, but also provide soil temperature measurements. Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, this durable sensor last up to 10 years, so you can leave them in the field for extended periods of time. Sharpened stainless-steel probes make installation easy, even in hard soil, and an increased volume of influence provides better results and a more accurate view of soil moisture. The HOBOnet T11 is backed by over 20 years of soil-moisture research and features a trademark 70MHz frequency capacitance technology, minimizing salinity and textural effects.
The HOBOnet system is a cost-effective and scalable wireless sensor network for web-enabled monitoring of field conditions for applications such as crop management, research, and greenhouse operations. And because it's wireless, you can deploy a network of sensors to easily monitor multiple points with a single system, while avoiding the risk of long cables that can interfere with field operations and are potentially vulnerable to nearby lightning strikes. Sensors are easily linked to the network, and data can be accessed through HOBOlink®, Onset's innovative cloud software platform.
We suggest using the Verification Clip (see Compatible Items, below). The Verification Clip provides a convenient way to confirm the operation and soil moisture accuracy of HOBOnet T11 and T12 sensors. Attaching this clip to a sensor provides a known soil moisture level for verifying measurement accuracy, without having to test the sensor in actual soils, which normally requires weighing soil samples and drying them in an oven.

Notices
-
* The sensor data can be post-calibrated if necessary (e.g. the sensor is used in non-mineral soil types or higher than standard accuracy is required). Users can apply a calibration equation to the data exported from HOBOlink. The VWC range will depend on the calibration equation.
** Temperature measurement, for applicable sensors, may not be accurate if sensor is not fully immersed in medium of interest, due to longer equilibration time.
